Today I was given another lovely award! Thank you so much Micki from Ireland...

I can't get over how many lovely people you meet over this here blogging.... and the potential to make so many friends. I think it's so neat. Anyway, I'm now supposed to pass this award on to 8 other bloggers who I have become friends with, so :

If you consider yourself my FRIEND... I give it to you! I'm still feeling like a dishrag... and just don't have the energy to try picking and linking 8 of ya! You all deserve it.

I'm still feeling a bit blurghish... (is there such a word?).... so today I'm going to take it easy and just hang out at home. I want to make that gym appointment tomorrow!

I went to town and paid a bill or two... did a small grocery shop, and bought a couple of NOT BLACK tops to wear! I really can't go around in me nightie eh?

ABOVE: eeee - gads... horizontal stipes even! Pfffft...looks ok to me. Not doing much else today... still feeling a bit ill... think stress has a lot to do with it too. Am feeing quite stressed out at the moment... various reasons. Shit happens.ONWARD...

End of Day: still feel ikkk.... might just be from stress... or I have an awesome tummy bug! Hopefully I'm better by tomorrow cos I have THE GYM awaiting me! nite nite.

I think stripes can be flattering. Even horizontal stripes. In fact, vertical stripes which are distorted over lumpy bits can be very unflattering.

Did you see the Trinny and Sussanah show where they had several large boxes of different colours and people had to guess the heaviest? Everyone chose the black box even though they were all the same size and weight. That really made my think about my fat obsession with black and now I try to wear colours more often.

And even though we can't see you face I think your excursion into colours is having the right effect.

I think the gym will be just what the doctor ordered chicky! You must go, even if you are feeling not so good.....(unless you think its contagious!), I'm betting dollars to ummmmm dumbbells (rather than doughnuts!), that a fab workout will have you feeling heaps better girl!

sorry though, I'm total neg on the stripes...got to be honest hey!Cheers hon!

ME AND STEW

Both struggling to lose weight and be healthier. Parents of 6 adult 'kids' and 13 Grandkids. We have raised two of those grandkids since their births and they are now 16 and 17. December 2017: We have been caring for their 5 year old sister for over a year as well, but at the end of 2017 she will be moving to her new permanent home with our son Steve, and his wife Bex.

WHERE I LIVE:

New Zealand, it's in the South Pacific... and it's NOT a part of Australia! We are home of the All Blacks rugby team, the Kiwi (bird, but can't fly) and lots of bloody neat people!
